Bob, I looked at MM briefly before things started falling apart. I was getting very interested and then the "fit hit the shan" before I took a position. As I started to delve into the issues a little more, I realized I didn't have a full grasp of the situation. So I backed off. I still don't understand it all. I'm not sure about everyone else's experience, but it's getting more obvious to me every day that it is difficult for me to actually evaluate how much I know about a company. All my mistakes (losses) have come from situations that I was relatively new to, but for some strange reason felt confident about after just a few weeks of looking at the numbers, issues, etc…. I invariably understand way more after a year or so. Usually, I can tell where I went wrong in my analysis. I am beginning to contemplate making a rule for myself that I make no investments at all - no matter lucrative it looks - unless I have been following the story for at least one year.
